What is partial visual occlusion for the treatment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke?

Answer

Partial visual occlusion also helps to decrease sensory input to the less affected side. This is accomplished by patching or partially occluding a patient’s glasses in the nonneglected hemifield. This encourages head turning and visual scanning to the neglected visual field.
